Here are the words by the artist himself, reported as liner notes inside the 6-panels gatefold sleeve : "my voice/ my astral guitar/ instants of life/ home/ window of memories/ blue afternoon/ winter 2005/ cold burning flame/ torino/ whispers of glass/ suspended/ between/ day & night/ before black falls".
